Well, hey, and welcome to the Becoming Better Podcast. On this episode, Jason, Josh, and Nate sit down and talk about how Joshua asked God to keep the sun still for a whole day, and also how much we love out-of-context scriptures. We also dive into last week's sermon and what Paul is encouraging Timothy with. We also talk about a series that we did a while ago, so if you would like to watch those videos, you can find all of them here. https://vimeo.com/showcase/8729595. Well, without further ado...

So far, the purpose of Paul's letter to Timothy has been to teach people how they are supposed to act in the Church. This letter is like a practical ministry class for Timothy. Yet, right here in the middle of it, Paul gives us an early Christian hymn or creed. This is a declaration of the Gospel, and the mystery of godliness flows from it.

Welcome to Becoming Better Podcast. On this episode, Jason, Josh, and Nate discuss the Cocodona 250 that happened while Josh was away. We then dive into last Sunday's message. If you haven't listened to Sunday's message, we encourage you to stop here and give that a listen, as it will help make this conversation make more sense to you. Well, without further ado, we hope you enjoy this conversation.

Paul has made it clear that woman are not to be the authority figures in the church. So who is called to lead? The obvious answer is men, but can it be just any man? Absolutely not, there is a high expectation for those who would even be considered to lead the church.

In this text we will address one of the most controversial issues in the modern church: a woman’s role in the church. Paul explicitly says they must be silent. Is that really what it means? Does this expectation still apply today?

Also, we’ll talk about how Easter services went — it was such a powerful weekend. So many people, so much energy, so much to celebrate. We then dive into Sundays message Who should we pray f...

Paul claims that we should pray for all people. He even goes so far as to command prayer for the Emperor himself. Imagine having a temple in your town for the man who is putting people like you to death, and you are told to pray FOR that person…not against them! That was Ephesus!

As the disciples are walking seven miles from Jerusalem to Emmaus, Jesus goes through their bible, from the books of Moses through the Prophets (what we would call the Old Testament) and explains to them what the scriptures said about himself. There is no doubt: this is the greatest sermon we have never heard.

Welcome to the Becoming Better podcast! My name is Nate, and I am so glad you have joined us. Jason, Josh, and I dive into Jason's message on shipwrecking our faith, based on 1 Timothy 1:18-20.

In this text, Paul calls out two people who didn’t lose their faith, they flat out rejected it. Their life and story, which Timothy would have been very familiar with, is used as a warning for Timothy to hold onto faith and a good conscience.

When most people think of Paul, they think of the "Great Apostle." The one who endured great suffering to take the gospel around the Roman world for the sake of the Gentiles. We don’t often think of Paul before he came to Christ.

Paul encourages Timothy to refute those who have departed from a sincere faith and have turned to meaningless talk. These people are focused on things that don’t matter, like myths, genealogies, and controversial speculations, rather than focusing on what matters most, namely faith.

Outside of Paul himself, no one has more Bible writing credits in the New Testament than Timothy. Paul saw leadership potential in Timothy from an early age and Paul took him along as his partner in Ministry, where he quickly became Paul's most trusted ministry partner. Eventually Paul called Timothy to pastor the church in Ephesus, where he did so faithfully for decades.

Paul ends his letter to the Ephesians in the same way he ends many of his letters. He specifically asks these brothers and sisters to pray for his boldness while he is in chains for the gospel. He prays…not for people to be saved…but for boldness to complete the mission of preaching the gospel as God has called him to.

We live in the middle of a battlefield. It is sometimes easy to forget it when we are doomscrolling Facebook and shopping for avocados. However, Paul makes it clear that spiritual warfare is an ever-present reality in the life of a Jesus follower. This is his encouragement for us: prepare yourself for battle.

As we see in this text, the truth of the Gospel will impact how children interact with parents, and how parents interact with their kids. The Gospel will impact how we treat those who are below us in our jobs and businesses, as well as those above us. There is no relationship that our faith in Jesus does not influence. We're so glad you're here!
